Abstract: The Internet of Things (IoT) is a system of
interrelated computing devices, mechanical and digital
machines, objects, animals or people that are provided with
unique identifiers (UIDs)and theabilitytotransferdataovera
network without requiring human-to-human or human-to-
computer interaction.
The definition of the Internet of Things has evolved due to the
convergence of multiple technologies, real-time analytics ,
machine learning andembedded Traditionalfieldsof ,wireless
network ,controlling systems (including home and building
infrastructure), and others all contribute to enabling the
Internet of Things. In the consumer market, IoT technology is
most synonymous with products pertaining to the concept of
the "smart home", covering devices and appliances (such as
lighting fixtures, thermostats, home security systems and
cameras, and other home appliances) that support one or
more common ecosystems, and can be controlled via devices
associated with that ecosystem, such as smartphones and
smart systems.
1. INTRODUCTION
In a nutshell, the Internet of Things is the concept of
connecting any device (so long as it has an on/off switch) to
the Internet and to other connected devices. The IoT is a
giant network of connected things and people – all of which
collect and share data about the waytheyareusedandabout
the environment around them. That includes an
extraordinary number of objects of all shapes and sizes –
from smart microwaves, whichautomaticallycook yourfood
for the right length of time, to self-driving cars , whose
complex sensors detect objects in their path, to wearable
fitness devices that measure yourheartrateandthenumber
of steps you’ve taken that day, then use that information to
suggest exercise plans tailored to you.
 How does it work?
Devices and objects with built in sensors are connected to a
Internet of Things, which integrates data from the different
devices and applies analytics to share the most valuable
information with applicationsbuilttoaddressspecificneeds.
These powerful IoT platforms can pinpoint exactly what
information is useful and what can safely be ignored. This
information can be used to detect patterns, make
recommendations, and detectpossibleproblemsbeforethey
occur.

2. PROPOSED SYSTEM
Our system provides the relevant information regarding all
the vehicles going from users source & destination along
with the route details, real time location. Generally our
system is operated by GPS whichisattachedwiththevehicle.
Firstly GPS receives the satellite signals and then the
position co-ordinates with latitude and longitude are
determined by it. The location is determinedwiththehelp of
GPS and transmission mechanism. After receiving the data
the tracking data can be transmitted using any wireless
communications systems. A real time dashboard is been
created showing the live location of the vehicle with help of
google maps.
For creating these dashboards we have used the platform
named Thingsboard which is an open source IOT Platform
which allows the developer to create real time Dashboards
which will show accurate and efficient monitoring of IOT
devices

What makes our System different than the others?
There are many system that have been implemented
regarding the vehicle tracking system whichbasicallyshows
the location of the vehicle withco-ordinatesie.Longitudeand
Latitude
Our system will show the following:-
a) Live Location of the vehicle using Google Maps.
b) Accurate speed atwhich thevehicleistravelling.
c) It will also check the fuel in the vehicle and
show its exact reading
 Companies like Ola , Uber having such huge amount
of database of the vehicles can use our system to
efficiently monitor their business which will make
the task of looking after the vehicle that is
connected to the Internet Easier andalsoitwill help
in security purposes as it will not only show real
time data but also the data from the past.
1. Installing the Sensors And Microcontroller:-
For our system we have used sensors and a
microcontroller we have used Ardiuno UNO for
programming and a Wi-Fi module to send data onto
the dashboard
Following are the sensors;-
a. DHT 11(Temperature)
b. ESP 82366 module(Wi-Fi Module)
c. GPS Module
d. Speedometer
e. ARDIUNO UNO
2. Connecting all the sensors to the
Microcontroller:-
a. Connecting Wi-Fi Module:-
b. Connecting Fuel Gauge Sensor:-
3. Pushing Data Collected By Ardiuno on
Dashboard:-
For pushing the data onto the Dashboard we have
used HTTP server for sending the data that is
represented on serial monitor of the Ardiuno onto
the dashboard as shown in the fig below
There are preinstalled Plugins and Rules
provided by things board for pushing data from the
microcontroller onto the Things board by using
those commands in the Ardiuno programming
Module the data is then sent continuously showing
live location of the vehicle and also the related data
associated with it
4. Data Visualization :-
Once everything is set the user will login from
Things board and will get the full data represented
on the dashboard without any problem and can
efficiently look after the data.

3. CONCLUSIONS
1. We have successfully developedandimplementeda
vehicle tracking system that gives feedback
information of the location of stolen vehicle using
GPS-GSM technology.
2. It is user friendly, easily installable, easily
accessible and can be used for various other
purposes.
3. It can also be applied for better managementoffleet
with a return of large profit, better scheduling or
route planning to enable large job schedule.
4. We are still working on the possibility of improving
on the system to give SMS feedback to the vehicle
owner when an accident occurs.
5. This will help to reduce the delay in evacuation of
accident victims to hospital and reduce the chances
of losing life project is properly implemented it will
improves safety, reduce vehicle loss due to theft,
increase productivity, reduce diversionofroutesby
transport company’s drivers.
